Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

We recently visited Blythe Island Regional Park Campground in Brunswick, Georgia. This was our second visit to Blythe Island, and it is one of our favorite campgrounds.

Amenities at Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

Within the park, Lake Cindee has a beach for those who like to swim. There is a boat launch and hoist on the tributary side of the park. Laundry facilities are on-site, and there is a playground for the kids. There are areas for both fresh and saltwater fishing. Blythe Island has free wifi available throughout the park.

Favorite Sites at Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

Most of the sites at Blythe Island Regional Park Campground are similar, and there are no bad sites in the campground. That being said, our favorite sites are the pull-through sites in the back of the campground. All of these sites are large and private. 86, 87, and 90 are our favorites, but we would be happy in any of the Blythe Island Regional Park Campground sites. Sites 1-14 all have a view of the lake. I have seen others complain that the sites are too close together, especially sites 1-14, but they are not that close to each other, and vegetation separates them.

Description of Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

Blythe Island Regional Park Campground is one of the best laid-out campgrounds we have visited. Every site has shade and privacy, and no sites are haphazardly placed as if they were trying to squeeze in one more site.

Hookups at Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

Most sites are 50/30 full hookup sites, but some are 30 amp only. All the sites also have water, sewer, and cable hookups.

Discounts at Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

Blythe Island Regional Park Campground does not participate in any discount programs.

Tips for Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

Definitely bring bug spray if you visit Blythe Island or anywhere on the Georgia coast during the summer. Mosquitoes and no-see-ums are the most significant pests on the beach. We do not like to use DEET, so we generally use products with picaridin (check it out on Amazon) to combat mosquitoes. We also like Avon’s Skin So Soft (check it out on Amazon). We have found that ORS’s Olive Oil Nourishing Sheen Spray (check it out on Amazon) works well to fight off no-see-ums. Please read our article about protecting yourself against pesky insects.

One of the unique features of the Blythe Island Regional Park Campground is the wild rabbits. Be sure to take a walk around the campground to see the rabbits.

Although it is an Island, it is surrounded by waterways and does not have ocean access. There is a beach at Lake Cindee.

Things To Do Near Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

Blythe Island is less than 30 minutes from the beaches of St. Simons Island.

Fort Frederica National Monument is on St. Simons Island. There is no charge to visit Fort Frederica, which is part of the National Park Service. Fort Frederica was built in 1736 to protect the colony of Georgia from foreign invaders.

Two Georgia State Historic sites are about 20 minutes from Blythe Island Regional Park Campground. The first is Fort King George. Be sure to visit the museum and watch the film before exploring the fort. The mosquitoes were terrible when we visited, so we recommend bringing bug spray when you visit Fort King George.

The second Georgia State Historic site near Blythe Island is Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation. Hofwyl was a rice plantation before the civil war. After the war, it transitioned to a dairy farm. Today you can tour the home as well as the grounds.

We recommend purchasing a historic site pass to visit any of the Georgia State Historic Sites. The pass pays for itself once you have seen two sites.

If you want to visit the ocean, the beaches of St. Simons and Jekyll Islands (read our article about visiting Jekyll Island) are less than 30 minutes away. We prefer the beaches at Jekyll Island because the Island is less crowded. However, you do have to pay a $8 toll to access Jekyll Island.

Favorite Restaurants Near Blythe Island Regional Park Campground

There are several good restaurants in the area.

We recommend Skipper’s Fish Camp in Darien or Mr. Schucks in Brunswick for seafood.

Two of our favorite non-seafood restaurants in the area are located on St. Simons Island. They are Southern Soul Barbeque and the Porch. The Porch specializes in fried chicken. It is available naked (plain), Nashville hot, or Napalm. Just a warning the Napalm is extremely hot.

There is a lot to do and see in the area. Our family has enjoyed each of our visits to Blythe Island Regional Park, and we look forward to going back soon.
